With the exception of catcher Missy Coe, the Ducks couldn’t find die stroke they exhibited in both Texas and Nevada during the past two weekends. Coe, a sophomore, hit five home runs and was named to the all-tournament team. The Ducks dropped their first contest to Florida, 5-2. The Gators were led by a pair of home runs: Nicole Kriepl hit a solo homer in the top of the fourth, while Jennifer Lutsi hit a two-run job to cap the scoring. The Ducks were led by Jill Robinson’s and Lindsey Welch home’s runs. Oregon then bounced back to pummel Wichita State, 13-0. The Ducks were carried by Coe’s three home runs, giving her four on the season. In the second day of competi tion, the Ducks were trounced twice. They fell to No. 6 Califor nia and New Mexico State by the scores of 12-1 and 5-1, respec tively. Lisa Lanci and Veronica Nel son led the Bears with three homers between them. Coe scored the Ducks only run on her fifth home run of the season. The Ducks w'ere also beaten in their second game of the day by host New Mexico State. The Roadrunners cruised to a 5-1 win after jumping to a 4-0 lead on a grand slam by Christine Stevens. Sunday Oregon faced Texas Tech in the morning, beating the Red Raiders, 3-1. Then in the af ternoon’s consolation semifinal game, the Ducks lost to Illinois Chicago. Oregon battled hard before falling to 6-5. Coe, Robinson, and Holly Ray all homered. Ducks pick up momentum at home ■ The Oregon tennis teams close out winter with dominating non conference wins By Robbie McCallum for the Emerald With two convincing wins, the Oregon men’s tennis team moved one game above the .500 mark. The Ducks easily defeated Big West opponents St. Mary’s and Loyola Marymount on Saturday and Sunday. The nonconference wins give Oregon a 5-4 record heading into spring break. On Saturday, No. 51 Oregon caught St. Mary’s on a road trip through the Northwest. The match was played at Portland’s Mountain Park Recreation Cen ter. The Gaels (2-6) proved to be no match for the Ducks, as Ore gon won every match. Freshmen Oded Teig and Ja son Menke were both impressive as each gave up only one game in straight-set wins. Senior Guillermo Carter and freshman Leslie Eisinga improved their doubles record to 4-3 as they de feated the Gaels’ Richard Thompson and Rex Calaunan, 8 3. The closest St. Mary’s got to a win was a three-set match be tween Arturo Pianelle and Eisin ga. The first two matches were split, but Pianelle retired after an injury. On Sunday, the Ducks re ceived more of a challenge from winless Loyola Marymount, but Oregon prevailed, 6-1. “It’s always nice to play one at home with some friends watch ing,” head coach Chris Russell said. “These were matches that get the guys some confi dence and make the guys feel good.” The Lions’ Carsten Eisenbarth and Oregon sophomore Thomas Schneiter provided the most exciting match of the weekend as the two battled for three sets. Eisenbarth prevailed in a tight finish, giving Loyola Marymount its lone point. The men take a breather after concluding the first portion of the season. Their next match will be a nonconference contest at Cal Poly-SLO in three weeks. “I think we’re performing well,” Russell said. “I would say ( 4 / would say that our progress report is a ‘B’— with the prospect of get ting a lot better. Chri$ Russell head coach that our progress report is a ‘B’ — with the prospect of getting a lot better.” The Oregon women also were in action this weekend. Oregon evened its season record at 4-4 with a dominating 8-0 win over St. Mary’s. The match utilized a new In tercollegiate Tennis Associa tion’s experimental format. Un der the format, two points are awarded if a team sweeps all three doubles matches. Doubles are then followed by six singles matches. If a match splits sets, a ten-point tiebreaker is played instead of a third set. The win gave the Ducks some much-needed momentum for next weekend’s matches against the Washington schools. The No. 41 Ducks take on Washington on Saturday and Washington State on Sunday. Wrestling continued from page 7 ed as Pac-10 champ by defeating Lionel Halsey of Cal State Bakers field. An injury-plagued Watson fought his way to the final rounc before falling in the final match. Eighth-ranked Lee, the defend ing Pac-10 champion, worked hij way into the championship rounc with a 10-4 win over Jeremy Wil son of Portland State. He then saw a familiar face in Halsey Sunda) for the Championship. Lee already defeated Halsej once this season, overwhelming him 10-0; he then made it two-for two, with his win Sunday. Lee scored a technical fall with 6 min utes, 21 seconds left in the match. One of the bigger surprises of the tournament was Watson, who was wrestling for the first time since he broke his hand prior to the Portland State match. Watson fought a tough battle against Al berto Garza of California Polytech nic. The two grapplers went to sudden death overtime, where Watson scored a takedown to win the match. Watson then faced Zac Zimmer er of Stanford on Sunday for the championship in the 133-pound division. Zimmerer defeated Bri an for the second time in two tries this year by a 2-1 tiebreaker win. Tony Overstake and Eric Webb were stopped in the semi-finals. Overstake fell to Quinn Foster of Arizona State, 12-6, in the 149 pound weight class. He then took on Jay McGuffin of Boise State in the consolation bracket on Sunday, where McGuf fin bested Overstake by a 6-4 score. Webb fought valiantly against Oregon State’s Jason Cooley before falling in sudden death overtime. Webb nearly scored a technical fall to make it into the champi onship round. Cooley, however, scored a takedown to defeat Webb, 4-2. Then in the consolation round, Webb took on Cal State Bakerfield’s John Devine on Sun day. Devine beat Webb by a score of 4-3. Oregon sophomore David Watson made it into the semifi nals by handing a sound defeat to Nico Saldana of Cal State Fuller ton, 13-5.
